Aim: To investigate the challenges and barriers in Danish care professionals’ work in relation to elderly citizens who use substances.

Findings: Providing adequate care for elderly citizens who use substances can be highly challenging. This is due to a multitude of factors, especially (1) the complexity of their health conditions, (2) contradictory logics of care (autonomy vs. healthy living), (3) citizens often unpredictable behaviours, (4) lack of cooperation between welfare systems and, not least, (5) lack of knowledge and education among healthcare professionals.

Keywords: aging, dilemmas, healthcare, healthcare professionals, substance use
